How to run wp-omatic cron job on Godaddy

I have some trouble related my wp-omatic for my wordpress blog. I already set the cron job on my godaddy, but it didn’t run when the times is up.

WP-o-Matic is a popular WordPress Plugin which creates posts from RSS feeds. I run the job manually, and it run properly. All post is fetched from all RSS.

If you had trouble to set up your wp-omatic cron on you godaddy.  all we need to do is :

  1. Go to WP-o-Matic Options Tab in your WordPress install.
  2. Ensure that in ‘Unix cron’ is checked (in WP-o-Matic Options in your WordPress install).
  3. In the Cron command highlight all characters EXCULDING those before ‘/usr’ (i.e. in the Cron command field the value will look something like ‘*/20 * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/WP-o-Matic/cron.php?code=ba360243’ however we only require ‘/usr/bin/curl http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/WP-o-Matic/cron.php?code=ba360243’ to be highlighted).
  4. Copy why you have highlighted.
  5. Paste into the ‘command’ field in GoDaddy Cron Manager.
  6. Fill the other GoDaddy Cron Manager fields with your options and save.
